Federalists & Anti-Federalists
The biggest complaint about the Constitution was because of: Greatly increased powers of the central
government A lack of the Bill of Rights.
This meant lack of freedom of speech, press, and religion.

Eventually Federalists won and the Constitution was ratified
Even though New Hampshire was ninth state to ratify, the new constitution would never be effective without Virginia and New York ratifying it too.

Inaugurating the Government
On Sept. 13, 1788, 11/13 states were under one “federal roof.”
New York was chosen as a temporary capital.
Because it lacked a quorum (a majority of house members present) it could not yet count electoral votes
George Washington was elected president.
John Adams was Vice-President.
